Lived in Quebec, Canada up until recently. My family called it coke.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago

I'm from Quebec, always called it a soft drink, or boisson gazeuse.

I have never heard another Canadian ever call it coke, everyone where I live calls it pop.

I'm pretty sure that as a Canadian you're suppose to apologize for that now.

[–] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

As a Canadian I would never apologize to someone from Quebec.

As in, a family member would say “can you get me a coke from the fridge?” And you’d reply “what kind?” And they’d say “sprite!”?

Because that’s what this is referring to. I’ve never heard it anywhere outside of the south.

You (/family) may need to speak with the Canadian Government to take a retest for your Canadian citizenship.
